Hello. I am Senator Miranda Matherne and I represent the state of California. I am a Republican and I am strongly against sex trafficking of women and children in the United States. There are at least 100,000 women and children trafficked in the United States per year and the state with the highest crime rate of sex trafficking is California, but more specifically San Francisco. I want to put an end to this major crime stop the kidnapping and abuse of women and children in California.
